Hello.  Very new to minecraft and trying to download this so my son can access some mods.  Unfortunately, we are running version 1.8.3 of minecraft, so I downloaded the version for 1.8, and I keep getting an error when I try to client install that says "You need to run version 1.8 manually at least once." 

 

I have run the game all the way to playing it as instructed, but it still gives me the error.  Does it not work with 1.8.3?

What makes you think that 1.8 is the same as 1.8.3?

Follow the instructions and run 1.8.

I do Forge for free, however the servers to run it arn't free, so anything is appreciated.

My apologies, but I don't understand that answer.  I assumed that the minecraftforge designed for minecraft 1.8 would work with whatever small updates they made for 1.8.3.  Are you saying I need to rollback the version of minecraft I am running to version 1.8 instead of 1.8.3? If so, I have no idea how to do that.

I am chuckling b/c here I am trying to do the same thing for my 9-yr old son today - and thinking of how many other parents in the world are doing the same thing every other day of the week. lol!

 

Anyway - We just bought minecraft about a month or so ago and the only versions listed under profiles are 1.8.1  1.8.2  and <Latest Version> which is what has been running (1.8.3) -  So, not sure how to get 1.8 so I can get Forge, but my kid who has not cleaned his room in MONTHS was HIGHLY motivated to spend all day yesterday cleaning so that he could download a few Mods (if I can figure out how to do it) and I know this is the first step.

 

Oi vey! The love we have for our kiddos! :) BTW - I love your "verification" questions...

Success has been achieved!  I really appreciate the help. I am an old man with little kids, so I am a bit slow with this new fangled technology.

 

Now if you will excuse me, I have children to chase off of my lawn.

I just tried changing versions again today and all of them were listed as in the screenshot posted. Who knows what the deal was yesterday when there was no scrollbar there, but yes - today I was able to change versions no problem.

    • Thank you so much Choonster! That's what i was missing! For now i added a folder assets/<mod_id>/items and put the model definition JSON file with the item name in it: { "model":{ "type": "minecraft:model", "model": "teleportpugmod:item/teleportpug" } }   Some log errors/warnings pointing me into the right direction would've been nice 😅 Haven't had much time to look into the DataGenerator and ModelProviders, because i'm still at work. But i guess these would would make more sense if have many custom items and want to generate these model definition files?
    • Minecraft 1.21.4 requires a new model definition file for each item, which you don't have. These can be created through Data Generation, specifically the ModelProvider, BlockModelGenerators and ItemModelGenerators classes.
    • Hi,  I'm using Forge 47.3.0 for Minecraft 1.20.1 I apologise if this is obvious I am very new to modding for Minecraft. I sucessfully made a mod that launched without errors or crashes (without it doing anything) but in order to add the features I need, I need to add "Custom Portal API [Forge]" as a dependency. However no matter the way I've tried to acheive this, it crashes. I am pretty sure it's not the way I'm putting it in the repositories, the dependencies or the way I'm refrencing it, as I've a hundred diffrent combinations and multiple Maven methods. And on all those diffrent variations I still get this crash: pastebin.com/UhumzZCZ Any tips would be invaluable as I've been loosing my mind over this!
    • Hi, i'm really having problems trying to set the texture to my custom item. I thought i'm doing everything correctly, but all i see is the missing texture block for my item. I am trying this for over a week now and getting really frustrated. The only time i could make the texture work, was when i used an older Forge version (52.0.1) for Minecraft (1.21.4). Was there a fundamental change for textures and models somewhere between versions that i'm missing? I started with Forge 54.1.0 and had this problem, so in my frustration i tried many things: Upgrading to Forge 54.1.1, created multiple new projects, workspaces, redownloaded everything and setting things up multiple times, as it was suggested in an older thread. Therea are no errors in the console logs, but maybe i'm blind, so i pasted the console logs to pastebin anyway: https://pastebin.com/zAM8RiUN The only time i see an error is when i change the models JSON file to an incorrect JSON which makes sense and that suggests to me it is actually reading the JSON file.   I set the github repository to public, i would be so thankful if anyone could take a look and tell me what i did wrong: https://github.com/xLorkin/teleport_pug_forge   As a note: i'm pretty new to modding, this is my first mod ever. But i'm used to programming. I had some up and downs, but through reading the documentation, using google and experimenting, i could solve all other problems. I only started modding for Minecraft because my son is such a big fan and wanted this mod.
